Sip & Art

April 04, 2018

It has been a dream for awhile to teach workshops locally, I kept talking about it all that time, however, recently I got tired of hearing even myself talk about it, and I made a pact to make it happen. I have the amazing opportunity to work with so many amazing companies that there is no reason to keep talking about, time to just do something about it. And loyalty to so many companies has paid off. I want nothing more than to share this with others.

Some months ago, I had a new to town, local business owner stop in my store. We got to chatting and soon realized that his little craft brewpub would be a great fit for my recent endeavor. I was intrigued by the recent trend of Wine & Brush workshops that are a glass of wine (or beer) and you all paint on canvas together. I am not a painter, although I have attended a number of great local classes, I was thinking out of the box. There has to be a fun, creative way to have monthly workshops that include more artsy projects to create. Small groups so I can give an incredible amount of one on one time!

Cue...Sip & Art...a monthly creative release!

For our very first Sip & Art workshop, we paid homage to Double Taps Craft Brews and set up an amazing PINT GLASS etching workshop. We had some special guests, a local private vineyard sent in a crew to learn how to etch their private wine bottles. How about that for our first time? We use the amazing Etchall® product line for professional results that are so easy that I tell everyone that once you go Etchall, there's no glass in your home that is Safe after all! lol. Let me share the amazing etching that our students did in our very first workshop.

Etching glass is incredibly easy, simply attach your pre-cut vinyl sticker to the glasses, add the Etchall Etching Creme, let it sit for 15 minutes. Scrape off any excess and put back into the container, it is completely reusable. Remove the vinyl sticker and wash off the excess creme. Dry it off and your design will shine!!
